174mm 174mm 24mm Educational Neuroscience Edited by Denis Mareschal, Brian Butterworth, Andy Tolmie Educational Neuroscience Edited by Mareschal, Butterworth, Tolmie fiPeople involved in the theory and practice of education are urgently looking for insights from neuroscience. At last here is a source book that presents state of the art knowledge and re˜ects critically on how this knowledge can be used to improve teaching and learning. From language and maths to emotion and self-control, this volume offers inspiring reviews of studies that are the ˚rst fruits from a hopeful merger between education and neuroscience.fl Uta Frith, Emeritus Professor of Cognitive Development, UCL Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience In recent years, important strides have been made in realizing the potential of neuroscience to make meaningful contributions in the ˚eld of education. Educational Neuroscience presents a key reference source for students, educators, policy makers, and educational and developmental psychologists interested in bridging the gap between the biological basis of learning and the delivery of education in the classroom. An overview of the latest ˚nding in developmental cognitive neurosciences and their possible applications to education is provided, with individual chapters written collaboratively by educationalists, psychologists, and neuroscientists to ensure maximum clarity and relevance to a broad range of readers. Topics and themes include neuroscience and educational methodologies, language and mathematical development, literacy, and various skills associated with conceptual, social, and emotional development. Educational Neuroscience offers important insights into the current state of research ˚ndings related to the interactions between biological processes and education while paving the way to new frontiers and directions in learning and teaching. Denis Mareschal is Professor of Psychology at Birkbeck, University of London. He is the coeditor of The Making of Human Concepts (2010), the coauthor of Neuroconstructivism: How the Brain Constructs Cognition (2007), and the joint editor of Developmental Science (2004Œ2012). Brian Butterworth is Emeritus Professor of Cognitive Neuropsychology in the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience at University College London, and founding chair of the London Centre for Education Neuroscience. He is the author of The Mathematical Brain (1999).
